FutureB-
The Giants left with their quarterback, and a B to match. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Giants would have aced it. Kaidon Salter at the Round 7 slot is 159 spots clear of where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B.
Whatever Shedeur Sanders becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Shedeur Sanders
In the 5th pick they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick32
Rnd1
Tyler Booker
In the 32nd overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40
Rnd2
Ollie Gordon II
They went early on Ollie Gordon II in pick No. 40, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick80
Rnd3
Malachi Moore
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malachi Moore. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick96
Rnd3
Abdul Carter
They talked themselves into Abdul Carter at No. 96, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick107
Rnd4
Theo Wease Jr.
A wild overpay on Theo Wease Jr. in pick 107, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112
Rnd4
Elic Ayomanor
A real head-scratcher, Elic Ayomanor in Round 4, Pick 11 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick116
Rnd4
DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell in No. 116 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick134
Rnd4
Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham at the 134th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick146
Rnd5
Cobee Bryant
They did well to land Cobee Bryant in slot 146, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick164
Rnd5
Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick166
Rnd5
Gentry Williams
A big swing on Gentry Williams at pick 166, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick192
Rnd6
Makari Paige
Makari Paige at pick No. 192 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick196
Rnd6
Kyren Lacy
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kyren Lacy well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick217
Rnd7
Kaytron Allen
Kaytron Allen in the 217th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick222
Rnd7
Kaidon Salter
Value said wait; Kaidon Salter in the 222nd pick says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick223
Rnd7
Armand Membou
Armand Membou is a better player than pick No. 223 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick242
Rnd7
Dorian Strong
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dorian Strong at Round 7, Pick 28. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick247
Rnd7
Caden Prieskorn
Caden Prieskorn at slot 247 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
